In the run up to Easter Brexiter fury was aimed at the requirement for Marmalade to be renamed if we (re)align UK food labelling regulations with the EU; this would be for the addition of the word 'citrus' in a blow to UK sovereignty.

What, the hysteria ignored was that most brands already do this: 'Orange Marmalade' or 'Seville Orange Marmalade' & that is fine, as the EU allowed (and continues to allow) the word 'citrus' to be replaced by the actual fruit!

@ChrisMayLA6 Finally, we'll be able to sell tomato marmalade, chocolate marmalade, and sweet potato marmalade. Yes, sweet potato is listed as a fruit, so are carrots. No, I don't know why.

Now if the EU could also fix the definition of "wine" in the same way it would be great.

@Ighostrider @geoffl @ChrisMayLA6 you have not met my local baker's cheese and onion marmalade roll; it is a delight.
